yeah.. IMO if u r going for m45, choose the same shape tyre for the front! try to avoid the fat front!Originally posted by onlinesatish View Posti was abt to put the same config. but after reading ur reviews.....thambi ushar aitaan
front tyres are the most important part of the bike.. even if the rear gets punctured, we can still get the bike under control.. but if front gets punctured at high speeds!! whoa!

This thing happened to me as well.. the bike just switched off and there was no response to throttle input.. it happened 3 times in total.. and my bike had done around 1200-1300 kms.. has not happened since then. I took it to the svc station (bharath tvs - bangalore.). They said the 'problem didnt appear' whenOriginally posted by malli303 View Post
they took the test drive.. but they did some setting when engine cooled off.
i hope more knowledgeable guys reply to this.Lets put a smile on your faceComment

it happened with me too.........Originally posted by terrordrone View Postspoke too soon...

someone please tell what might be the issue ?
but it happened when i washed the bike may be there was a drop of water that went to the injection system and that caused all this cuz with me it happened after the wash only....so it happened after the wash or without it?????
what happens is the engine behaves like its not gettin the fuel makes the same noise as it makes during the "missing" of the bike and dies......
but starts after the single self...The Magician"

The bike was washed some 5-6 days agoOriginally posted by rennycornelius View Post
yea.. it starts after a single self tho
hope it doesnt turn into anything serious..
is this common to all FIs? or all RTRs ? or us a lucky few ?
hope its not one more addition to the 'dont worry its normal' list.Lets put a smile on your faceComment

Alright Guys I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the Apache tribe now ! Just got a titanium grey RTR 160 with rear disc ! The bike is absolutely stunning, can't wait to finish the run in though ! I'm really glad I decided on the RTR.

The mechanic at the SC says you can wash the bike as you would do for any other bike... even when I specifically asked him if FI would have some issue with water, he said 'no problem'Originally posted by rennycornelius View PostActa non verbaComment
